IND VS AFG MATCH PREVIEW:
India’s batting hasn’t done well during this tournament this far. However, they’ll expect KL Rahul to fire at the top. If Ishan Kishan plays, he’s doubtless to move to the center order and Rohit Sharma back in the opening slot. It’ll be attention-grabbing to ascertain if Suryakumar Yadav is back in the playing XI and for whom.
The bowling, too, hasn’t been impressive. Jasprit Bumrah was the lone bowler who looked threatening in the last match. R Ashwin is likely going to exchange Varun Chakravarthy during this match.
Afghanistan’s batting has been on another level. All the batters have played with an offensive approach and helped the team post a decent total; they have batted in the 1st innings whenever. With Asghar Afghan no longer available, Usman Ghani is probably going to exchange him.
If Mujeeb Ur Rahman is fit to play, Afghanistan will play 3 high-quality spin bowlers. Rashid Khan is in an exceedingly nice rhythm and can be a threat for the Indian batters.
INDIA VS AFGHANISTAN MATCH PREDICTION:
Afghanistan has been enjoying spectacular cricket during this tournament and is looking for favorites to win against a depleted Indian side.
